Scotland's royal respect

THE annual ritual of Royal Week in Scotland had an extra dimension this year as the Scottish leg of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee tour.

From the street party atmosphere in Glasgow's George Square on Wednesday, to the Royal Mile on Thursday and celebration of city status in Perth yesterday, ordinary Scots turned out in thousands to acknowledge the monarch's 60 years of faithful duty, their enthusiasm apparently undampened either by rain or by the publication of the royal accounts showing a £6.1m increase in travel costs.
